Weekend of Gatherings

we didnt have anything planned for the long weekend. i just wanted to spend time with the boys and hubby, still with his nrs syndrome, wanted to do work. no plans pun, our weekend was quite packed with gatherings.

gathering 1 - dr azizi (saturday)
well, this is not a gathering, unless you consider the group of parents and children roaming outside his clinic, a gathering. amir had to have his 2nd pneumococcal jab while asyraf was due for his 1st triple antigen jab. while we were there, we asked the doctor why amir's flu hasnt dried up and why asyraf was breathing so loudly. he belek-belek my boys for a while and diagnosed that they had early symptoms of asthma (my poor babies). they had to be monitored for a month, and to be given nasal spray and flu syrup. amir also had to take antibiotics for a week, asyraf just finished the antibiotics he started when he was admitted. asyraf also had thrush in his mouth due to the combination of the antibiotics and his mummy not sterilising the measly 2 bottles that she brought to the hospital. we came out of the hospital with 2 big bags of medicine.

we went home to take a nap as the weather was so gloomy (there's nothing better than an afternoon nap on a raining afternoon). we went out again for dinner, taking advantage of the smooth traffic. i think that's why hubby took the long way to bandar utama - there was absolutely no cars on the road.

gathering 2 - my cousins (sunday)
a cousin of mine moved into her new apartment in sentul. she invited us over for a small makan-makan. well, it was as small as it could get with her 6 brothers and sisters, plus me and my 2 sisters, and her 22 nephews and nieces. amir was happily playing by himself in the midst of all the children. asyraf was hot and was sweating. netty, letak lah kipas satu lagi.

in the morning, we took amir for ride on train mummy from kelana jaya to klcc. he loved the ride, but asyraf hated the "stesen berikutnya..." annoucement.

































gathering 3 - pcm (monday)
one of the pcm forummers wanted to see my house so we sort of decided to have a playgroup and potluck sambil-sambil see my house. there was only 5 couples and 10 children but the house seemed so lively.

















































gathering 4 - hubby's siblings (tuesday)
hubby's sister in semenyih invited us over for lunch since the FIL was in town. hubby wasnt so keen as he wanted to do some work and since it was the last day of the long leave, he wanted to spend it resting at home. but since the morning was so hot, he thought...ok lah, lets go for a drive and have lunch at their place. we were there til around tea time. by the time we reached home, it was already dinner time.

so there it was...our long holiday. at the end of the holiday, it didnt seem long enough. the thought of 2 months of no public holiday at all, is so scary. well, there's always EL and MC, right?
